Why does the long cubit's value vary?

The long cubit length differs by historical period and geographic location, making its exact modern equivalent variable.

What is a microinch used for?

Microinch measures very small linear distances, often specifying surface finishes or coating thicknesses in engineering.

Can I use microinches for general length measurements?

Microinches are typically used for specialized precision measurements and are not practical for general length use.
